I feel like I should know this but have been using a work around for years. But figure even this old dog can learn a new trick. I'm in Sonar X1, but suspect most DAWs can do what I'm wanting to do.
I recorded a band today and they did 8 songs, all very similar in feel and style. I have one of the songs mixed pretty well and would love to use the same EQs, comps, reverbs, etc. on the other songs as a starting point for each.
I can save the the EQ and COMP for each channel individually and then recall it in other songs. Not bad. Or I can export the individual tracks as WAV files from the other songs and then drop them into the song that already is mixed. I've done this in the past but it's a time consuming process.
So what I'm thinking is that there may be a way to save all the FX sends and individual track inserts as a template of some sort, then go into the other songs and recall the template?
Does that make sense?
Sort of like back in the 2" days just changing tapes but your mixer remained the same.
Is there such a thing in my DAW? What would it even be called? "Template" doesn't seem to yield results similar to what I'm thinking.
Thanks y'all.
